As with most of the adjustments on the LFS setups road cars will usually be limited to either one or a few options in big increments.
In racing cars most adjustments are made by feel, because no racing car will ever be exactly the same they can't just be setup with the same settings as they had before a rebuild, some of the current top level cars will be an exception to this as they are so precisely constructed that the same settings can probably be recorded and re used.
Cars are dynamic things, every component in a racing car has a life and will wear, it's the penalty of making them so compact and light, nothing is excluded from this, the big Capri bodyshells used to buckle and twist and would finish a race a different shape to how they started it. If you replace something on one side of a racing car you have to replace the other side to ensure they will wear equally and therefore the car can remain balanced.
